By the time morning came around the heavy swell and crosswinds had settled, but I was still rather groggy with just a couple of hours of very disturbed sleep behind me. The fenders and various lines held up through the night and the weather forecast was much better, but I decided that I’d had enough of life at the docks and headed out of Leverick.
I once again thought that I’d visit The Baths but – how could it be otherwise – the red flags were up once again so I continued down the Sir Francis Drake Channel and into The Bight at Norman Island for my last day/night sailing Zanshin I on this trip. The sail was another nice one with fast segments at over 8 knots and then a long slow one down the channel, but I wasn’t in any hurry and anywhere away from the dock was good enough for me.
I made an early dinner of the final thawed steak aboard the boat and then caught a ride to the Willie T’s bar for a couple of Carib beers before hitching another dinghy ride back and getting a solid night’s sleep.
